A lovely reader of mine left a comment on one of my posts sometime ago and she mentioned she’s vegan. I was really amazed and happy that the blog is for everyone and some of the recipes are easily adaptable to any dietary need. I made some plantain salad (bole salad) with spicy avocado dressing after I purchased “lean in Nigeria” ebook from

Please don’t say it, I know what you are about to say… plantain again? Well yeah why not, what is not to love about plantain? You must be thinking I’ve got a plantation of plantain behind my house for posting three consecutive plantain recipes.

Are you still letting the bin enjoy the goodness of your over ripe plantain? Well, I have got good news for you. As long as your plantain is not rotten, you can make yourself this lovely plantain pudding also known as epiti or ukpo ogede. If you love eating moi moi (moin moin) then this is another lovely recipe for you to try out in your kitchen.

Hello my lovelies, it’s been some few days I posted on here and it feels like ages, anyway how are you and hope you all missed me? Lol.

Weekends, well if you are not at work means relaxation and fun.

Plantain chips also known as ipekere is one tasty snack to help relax on a hot/cold afternoon with some chilled drinks.

Is it safe to call myself a food blogger or am I still getting there? One thing I noticed since I started food blogging is that I want everything to be perfect. I don’t want to plate like I’m serving in a cafeteria but like I’m being watched and my customers are paying a lot to see my food pictures as well as my recipes. I made this fried yam recently and it was almost perfect until I got a phone call from someone

Plantain is one of the good carbs you can eat and get away with. Not only is it a good source of energy and starch, it also aids bowel movement. It has lots of minerals and it is a good source of vitamins A, C, B6 etc. I learnt more about plantain fufu when I was on a year programme of the National Youth Service Corp in Kano

Dodo Ikire is very easy to make, it is sweet, squidgy and also brings back lovely childhood memories. The best part of it for me that makes it different from any other street snacks is the way it’s packaged in a pointed-like wrapping and every bite of the snack you take you’ll wish it lasts forever.
